Planet Diver

Planet Diver follows a daredevil pursuing her latest obsession: wingsuit diving. With her robotic companion Buddy, she travels through space to dive into the chasms of dangerous planets. You descend through deadly environments, fight local flora and fauna, and collect star stuff to fund further adventures. The story takes place across 3 planets, 9 biomes and 75 unique missions.

Dive through the planets

Each dive takes you through a carefully crafted, randomly generated chasm, so routes vary from run to run. Planets have their own biomes, obstacles, enemies and bosses. You must avoid hazards, brake and accelerate to survive; threats include bats that follow your movements, lava that gradually cuts off your escape, and a giant whale. Boss fights call for quick reflexes and careful thinking, while the planets’ extensive surfaces hide easter eggs.

Your mission goals vary, and you need to collect star stuff as you descend. The faster you travel, the higher your star stuff multiplier, but you must balance speed with survival. Star stuff funds outfits and ability modifiers, and can also buy star maps that unlock distant planets with new missions, obstacles, biomes and enemies.

Modes and challenges

The campaign combines its quirky story with missions and challenges. Each planet also has an endless arcade mode, and you can compete on online leaderboards for the best dive. Speedrunning mode lets you race to complete each mission as quickly as possible, while Black hole mode lets you customize dives by adjusting chasm generation. Tough challenges offer additional rewards.

Unlockable gear

The astro shop contains unlockables, including diving suits, ability modifiers and music. Outfits change your look, while modifiers adjust your abilities.
